I quickly went on the their site and made a hasty purchase. I'm very happy with the items I picked out and I feel like I got my items for a steal. This leads me into their Customer Service.</div><div><br /></div><div>Customer Service:</div><div>I have been hearing many rumors lately with their Sweet Peach line launch in late December 2016 that their customer service has been atrocious with lost orders and being non responsive. I also suspect the sale with code "TFSORRY" is to make up for that snafu. Since I placed an order and heard from watching the YouTube Drama Channels John Kuckian and Karina Kaboom about the recent bad customer service I have was worried myself about what I might experience.</div><div><br /></div><div>I will get to experience their customer service because in my excitement I made error when typing in the form for my email address I typed in an email address that did not belong to myself. So when I placed the order I realized just as it was too late that I had made the mistake. So first thing I did was pick up the phone and call their customer service number at 855-866-3223. I got a busy signal and assumed they would be swamped with inquiries from other customers and previous purchases. I saw a note "<span style="background-color: #f6cecf; color: #ff0048; font-family: &quot;proxima bold&quot; , &quot;arial&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0.55px;">Due to incredibly high customer service email and call volumes, there will be an extended delay in response time. Please allow a minimum 24 hour turn around on all email and longer than normal wait times on hold when phoning in.</span>" and also when placing my order I saw that orders will be delayed for at least 7-10 days due to inventory being taken at the warehouse at this time. I have a really obsessive personality so I picked up the phone and dialed a few more times with the same result.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I randomly dialed again about 1 hour later and to my shock I got a prompt with music saying I was in line. So I patiently waited for about 25 minutes while I multi-tasked and worked on other items. A woman answered the line about 25 minutes into the hold and I told her my problem. I provided her with the confirmation number I got from the last screen and she told me she was able to update my email address. I asked if she could re-send a copy of the purchase confirmation to me since I never received one but she told me she did not have access. But she told me that I should get future shipping confirmations to the updated email address. So far I am satisfied with my experience. As with my Aliexpress shipping experience I will update with the conclusion of how the rest of my order goes to completion. If I receive my shipping confirmation and when my order arrives.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Angela Chan Sheppardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02490956569530320194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927207629686127545.post-83404315850104818242016-09-13T12:53:00.002-07:002016-12-30T09:48:29.100-08:00My First Experience with Yanwen Economic Air MailI thought I would write a post about my experience with Yanwen Economic Air Mail. I am new to Aliexpress but one thing I've learned is that for shipping to the US it is best to go with orders that say shipping via epackets because once they arrive in the US I can track those packages on the USPS app or website. I just started using Aliexpress at the end of August 2016 and have made 16 purchases.<br /><br />Here is the breakdown of the shipping method<br />13 epackets<br />2 Aliexpress Standard Shipping<br />1 Yanwen Economic Air Mail<br /><br />So far I have received 8 of the packages all of which were epackets with an average of 15 days from order to doorstep. I am a tad skeptical of the packages shipped via Aliexpress Standard Shipping and Yanwen since the tracking information doesn't seem to update much and the lag time is getting up there. Take for example the screen shot below, that product was ordered 8/25/2016. It seems to be stuck at a status of "<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;tahoma&quot; , &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica neue&quot; , &quot;hiragino sans gb&quot; , , &quot;hiragino sans gb&quot; , &quot;microsoft yahei&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Outbound clearance completed successfully and loaded to airline"&nbsp;</span>since 8/30/2016. Maybe I am just more accustomed to seeing the tracking provided by USPS and regular updates and being too hopeful for the other 2 methods. I hope all will go well with this order and I will update you.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jKyIIX1GJ7E/V9hXD1fZFDI/AAAAAAAADsk/oEt68rXXO-0wIDJnRKfPaEknvW4bssalACLcB/s1600/YW1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jKyIIX1GJ7E/V9hXD1fZFDI/AAAAAAAADsk/oEt68rXXO-0wIDJnRKfPaEknvW4bssalACLcB/s320/YW1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />Personally going forward even when a seller has better than average great reviews, I will less likely use them since I am a micro manager when it comes to knowing where my purchases are in shipping status. I am hopeful that these methods are legit and that I just am far too impatient. Please note that I fully accept that I am overly critical when it comes to waiting for goods and that I have not yet opened a dispute with the sellers as they are still within their promised delivery time of 20- 38 days. I have been spoiled and accustomed to the sellers that got their products to me in 14 days.<br /><br />UPDATE: I received my product from this seller that was shipped this method in 19 days from order to doorstep.Angela Chan Sheppardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02490956569530320194noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927207629686127545.post-69550078726831858512016-09-06T08:39:00.000-07:002016-09-06T08:45:03.015-07:00Wet N Wild and KIKO Milano Haul<div class="MsoNormal">Hello Gymbugs,<o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal">I finally had time to sit down and film a Haul!

Excuse me? I feel like it has been 20 minutes and for fun I left the window open, there are now 6,922 people in front of me and 21 minutes left. Excuse me? Is this Ticketmaster? I am not waiting in a virtual line for discounted makeup. Everyone knows you can find discounted Too Faced at Nordstrom Rack and HSN frequently.

I have a little toddler at home and a full time job which occupy most of my time. I hope to one day be back at my blogging.<br /><br /><br />I am a frequent shopper of Drugstore.com and Beauty.com, more so to Drugstore.com. Both sites were able to lure me into making purchases by having the sample bags gifts with purchases (If you have seen my hauls on youtube you know... they got me A LOT!)<br /><br />A few weeks ago I started receiving notices that Drugstore.com and Beauty.com dollars need to be used by September because they are ending the program.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1mU7J78Uk_I/V7S1-DQXVJI/AAAAAAAADps/fj2PvKpmBIk5s1Z1JXTEvQlUoL25jlyQQCK4B/s1600/blog%2Bpost%2B08.17.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1mU7J78Uk_I/V7S1-DQXVJI/AAAAAAAADps/fj2PvKpmBIk5s1Z1JXTEvQlUoL25jlyQQCK4B/s320/blog%2Bpost%2B08.17.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /><br />Personally I did not find that program to be the most beneficial. I noticed the months we were eligible to use our dollars most of the sales were not good so I would usually let them expire. &nbsp;However, I do have online store credit and plan to use it before September just in case I can't redeem the money later!<br /><br />I am sad to see Drugstore.com go because it was fun getting their gift with purchases on green and natural products, their Mommy and Baby section and their health and beauty. I will most definitely miss those bundles. However, most of the time I made unnecessary purchases so my wallet is probably going to be happier that they will not be another tempting source to spend money.<br /><br />As for Beauty.com I used to make purchases from them about 5 years ago but I find that their deals became less competitive to ulta.com (whom finds a way to take a lot of my money as I am now a platinum member)<br /><br /><br />Angela Chan Sheppardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02490956569530320194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927207629686127545.post-55162783907457514242015-06-23T14:09:00.001-07:002015-06-23T14:09:59.710-07:00L'Oreal Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight System<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I received an amazing Vox Box from influenster with the following full size products from L'Oreal Paris:&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight Straightening Shampoo</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight Boosting Pre-Conditioner</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight Straight Conditioner</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight Straight Perfecting Balm</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I also received a travel size with the first 3 steps.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In the beginning I was using all 4 of these products together in the order that the back of the Smooth Boosting condition lists (basically the same order I listed above). I also was blow drying my hair to almost complete dryness. I never really had to use a straight iron to achieve a more put together look than without using them. I think if you want a very professional finished look you might want to take out the straight iron or dry with a hair dryer and round brush to complete dryness (I just don't have that type of patience).&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Sight to the good stuff, my favorite product from this set was the Smooth Intense <b>Ultimate Straight Straight Perfecting Balm</b>. If you are curious about this line but don't want to fully commit to buying all, start off with this product. You need the smallest amount on damp hair to achieve a fairly tamed straight hair look.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Pros:&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><ul><li>Pleasant scent.&nbsp;</li><li>Affordable, for an entire hair straightening system with a good amount of product. You can probably get all four products for less than $24.00 if you find a sale or use coupons.

I just finished using my DDF Ultra-Lite Oil Free Moisturizing Dew that I use for my nightly hydration routine. The DDF retails for $42.00 for a 1.7oz bottle. I like that the DDF is lightweight and scentless, however it leaves my skin a little tight and under hydrated and the price tag is a little on the pricey side.<br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vQmkOz825kw/VQCK57TLERI/AAAAAAAADTE/dmleEWkZKqI/s640/blogger-image-2147040447.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vQmkOz825kw/VQCK57TLERI/AAAAAAAADTE/dmleEWkZKqI/s640/blogger-image-2147040447.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I just finished using the DDF Ultra-Lite Oil Free..."</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ebs-7TvHmBA/VQHXdGzgAXI/AAAAAAAADTg/_msojeuz49g/s1600/DDF.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ebs-7TvHmBA/VQHXdGzgAXI/AAAAAAAADTg/_msojeuz49g/s1600/DDF.JPG" height="369" width="640" /></a></div><br />For the past week I've been using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost and I must say that I am quite impressed with it. I have sensitive dry combination skin. Normally when I test a new product I know within one use if my skin will be irritated by it. If it does not pass the 1 time use test it becomes a body moisturizer. Yes, many expensive face and eye creams have become body lotions as a result! I have dry combination skin; dry eyes with an oily t-zone. The weather is especially dry this time of year in San Diego and I really need some good hydration. Given my current skin status I have been using this product every evening before bed. I apply it last after removing my makeup, a face wash and application of toner and brightening serum. My initial impression of this product is that it does leave your skin incredibly hydrated and soft. It absorbs very well and does not just sit on top of your skin. I really like how my skin feels from using it. I was apprehensive about the strong fresh linen scent that it has at first. I was worried it would bother me as I consider myself to be sensitive to scent. But surprisingly I have grown to like the scent in the week I've been using it. I should mention that the scent does not even linger.<br /><br />A full sized product is 1.7 oz is housed in a sleek blue plastic jar. The retail price for this product is $19.99 and I have seen it on sale quite a few times, granted it could be from the fact it is new. I think <br />this is completely worth it as I feel it performs like a high end skincare moisturizer.<br /><br /><b>In Summary, very hydrating without breakouts.&nbsp;&nbsp;I score this product with an A- grade.</b></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CUKsLnq_SmM/VQCK6yblMBI/AAAAAAAADTM/XHNDf5typ4I/s1600/blogger-image-552287367.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CUKsLnq_SmM/VQCK6yblMBI/AAAAAAAADTM/XHNDf5typ4I/s400/blogger-image-552287367.jpg" width="300" /></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--7rOQy7jFPY/VQJpbkSu9FI/AAAAAAAADT0/6zG8jSV617s/s1600/blogger-image-1980805027.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--7rOQy7jFPY/VQJpbkSu9FI/AAAAAAAADT0/6zG8jSV617s/s400/blogger-image-1980805027.jpg" width="300" /></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--7rOQy7jFPY/VQJpbkSu9FI/AAAAAAAADT0/6zG8jSV617s/s640/blogger-image-1980805027.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></div>If you would like to see my unboxing and first impressions video.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jVtvuKmmFGk" width="480"></iframe><br /><br />*I received this product complimentary for testing from Influenster and I am not getting paid for my opinion.<br /><br />#BehindTheGlow #Neutrogena #contest Angela Chan Sheppardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02490956569530320194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927207629686127545.post-62542464676759149272015-03-05T21:47:00.001-08:002015-03-05T21:47:07.093-08:00ELF Cosmetics Get Ready With MeHello Friends!

I went in with the goal of stocking up on the good ole workhorse of a brow pencil in 648 Taupe. I could not find it anywhere. But I did see a brand new display of Wet N Wild Kohl Eyeliner Pencils where I found a pencil with the name "taupe" in it so I decided to give it a try.<br /><br />After not being able to find the old taupe pencil on this inital Rite Aid trip I have kept my eye out for it. Unfortunately, I have not found it an a single retailer since. In fact some Walgreens and CVS locations no longer have a spot for it so I suspect this old one has been discontinued. <br /><br />Check out my video to see if they are dupe's for each other or not.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/f-vHfEjGU_8/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/f-vHfEjGU_8?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><br />Angela Chan Sheppardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02490956569530320194noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927207629686127545.post-45213085435297329942015-02-18T23:35:00.000-08:002015-03-14T23:36:53.168-07:00Urban Decay TEN 24/7 Glide On Pencil Swatch and Review<div style="text-align: left;">I picked up this set from Sephora during one of their end of the year sales.

I am a germ-a-phobe and do not reuse brushes on my face or eye area without cleaning. However, lately I had noticed some of my brushes handles were starting to separate from their ferrule and more hair was shedding. So even though I tried to tilt my brushes so that water dries out downwards it was never really enough. The brush tower has been the perfect solution to my problem. I love this simple tool used to dry my brushes upside down.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It comes in 3 pieces that are easy to connect together and also to disconnect and store away without taking up space. Take a peak at this video to see it in action. Also, I would like to add that I discovered since filming this video that you can pull the brushes out from the from and they will come out very easily.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/a7nQXgTmH0o?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xjtQ8pI8VNY/VLK_NT_UPJI/AAAAAAAADOw/yFZZBMexecs/s1600/bun-cosme-003_001w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xjtQ8pI8VNY/VLK_NT_UPJI/AAAAAAAADOw/yFZZBMexecs/s1600/bun-cosme-003_001w.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y7gdgCmFM5g/VLK_NVBsQOI/AAAAAAAADOs/koBbHdZ9-p0/s1600/bun-cosme-003_003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y7gdgCmFM5g/VLK_NVBsQOI/AAAAAAAADOs/koBbHdZ9-p0/s1600/bun-cosme-003_003.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><br />Angela Chan Sheppardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02490956569530320194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927207629686127545.post-39881557869079855962014-11-24T08:47:00.000-08:002014-11-24T08:47:34.778-08:00Haul: Sephora VIB Sale 2014Curious to see what I picked up in the Sephora VIB Sale this year?

It officially starts on November 14th 2014 but I heard some CVS locations were starting theirs early. Indeed a few were. I checked out 4 in the San Diego area and 2 has not started yet and the other 2 had. I here is my haul if you want to see what i got.<br /><br />Lots of 50% off to 75% off I saw Physcian's Formula, Covergirl, Revlon, NYC Color, Wet N Wild, NYX, Rimmel, Neutrogena, Milani, Sally Hansen just to name a few. Note that many CVS's do not mark these things as clearance but if you use the scanner you can verify they are before purchasing. <br /><br />The wonderful Blog I reference in the video is from <a href="http://nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2014/11/cvs-winter-2014-beauty-clearance-sale.html">Nouveau Cheap</a>.<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iLzpw84jj6E?list=UURFCDsb_qkA_riDLwMBIt5A" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">*One interesting note and this has never happened to me before for the CVS Semi-Annual clearance before but the CVS closest to my house has nothing on clearance!

I swear by them to lighten up old acne scars and fade sun spots. So I was really excited when I received the Equitance Brightening &amp; Spot Corrector Serum from influenster complimentary for testing purposes. Finally a product right up my alley!<br /><br />The card that came with this product it reads: <br /><br />"Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark discolorations"<br />"Patented technology that delivers clinically proven brightening ingredient to the skin"<br />"83% of women reported diminished appearance of dark spots"<br />"*Based on clinical study after 4 months. Study conducted and evaluated by a dermatologist"<br /><br />A 30g size of this product retails for $125. You are supposed to apply 2-3 drops on your face in the morning and evenings. For a brightening serum this price is about mid-range. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cPeGQSqPVGo/VE6FHAzdQrI/AAAAAAAADL4/rDlC5io2GsU/s1600/EQ.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cPeGQSqPVGo/VE6FHAzdQrI/AAAAAAAADL4/rDlC5io2GsU/s1600/EQ.JPG" height="198" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />I've been using this for about 2 weeks now after my toner and before my moisturizer. I do not own the whole line of products shown in their brochure and website to use in conjunction with each other. I have not used the product long enough to know if it is making a difference. However, I would really really love to win a whole set and test the whole line out. I feel like I would be the perfect candidate!<br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0ODQZuY3J2A/VE6GHXA6qtI/AAAAAAAADMA/jqhXiofE4Gw/s640/blogger-image--565249780.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0ODQZuY3J2A/VE6GHXA6qtI/AAAAAAAADMA/jqhXiofE4Gw/s640/blogger-image--565249780.jpg" /></a></div><br />If any of you would like try products from <a href="http://www.equitance-us.com/">Equitance</a> I have a promo code that expires November 20th 2014.

It is not often that I also write about a haul but this experience was quite unique so I thought I would try to help anyone else out here who might also be a French Pharmacie newbie.<br /><br />Before arriving in my Paris my plan was to seek and buy local French drugstore makeup that is hard to come by in the USA. Through a quick search I found that drugstore makeup is not sold in Pharmacies in France. Pharmacies in France are quite different and focus much more on skincare and medicine.<br /><br />I was able to pinpoint a very specific <a href="http://www.pharmacie-paris-citypharma.fr/plan">Pharmacie on 26 Rue du Four </a>that seemed like every single person had visited. This place also happened to be really close to our hotel. I told my husband about it and he actually booked a hotel close by on purpose. The first time I walked in I was completely overwhelmed. I had been warned by bloggers to be prepared with a list. They were not kidding. Most products are in french and there are absolutely shelves full of new products that are unfamiliar to the US shopper. I left there feeling completely overwhelmed. But I did go back a few days later armed with a list and was able to get in and out pretty quick.&nbsp; <br /><br />What I picked up:<br /><br />BioDerma Crealine H20: I picked this two pack up for €15.40. Every single person in the shop had some form of Bioderma solution in their basket, it was obvious to me that this was <i>the thing</i> that one must not miss. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xR-E_mMalX8/VB9gBUOKtbI/AAAAAAAADKc/MStRsbbeOQg/s1600/IMG_4409.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xR-E_mMalX8/VB9gBUOKtbI/AAAAAAAADKc/MStRsbbeOQg/s1600/IMG_4409.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div><br />&nbsp;Sanoflore Veritable Eau Florale: Snagged this for €5.50. I grabbed this based on a <a href="http://www.designmom.com/2012/11/french-pharmacy-picks-part-3/">blog (design mom) I read</a> for it's under eye soothing properties.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BpQ5mJzYTIc/VB9gXRvbBWI/AAAAAAAADK0/Cs1_EFTHwYo/s1600/IMG_4404.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BpQ5mJzYTIc/VB9gXRvbBWI/AAAAAAAADK0/Cs1_EFTHwYo/s1600/IMG_4404.JPG" height="320" width="213" /></a></div><br /><br />Safforelle: I heard that one does not know how clean you can be down there until you've tried this stuff. I picked up this 2 pack for €8.99.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YD0QJpL3SdQ/VB9gUxqYNLI/AAAAAAAADKs/2VEb6gLjLrM/s1600/IMG_4408.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YD0QJpL3SdQ/VB9gUxqYNLI/AAAAAAAADKs/2VEb6gLjLrM/s1600/IMG_4408.JPG" height="320" width="213" /></a></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.biafinecream.com/Buy-Biafine-Direct-186g-w-Free-Shipping-and-Tracking-3400932857012.htm?gclid=CIC_kd2988ACFUiPfgodxLAAGQ">Biafine Emulsion</a>: I picked this 93g tube up for €2.99.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mfyIBQe4uiw/VB9gPpKNLOI/AAAAAAAADKk/lNUYvwg-QH0/s1600/IMG_4403.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mfyIBQe4uiw/VB9gPpKNLOI/AAAAAAAADKk/lNUYvwg-QH0/s1600/IMG_4403.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />Nuxe Reve de Miel (in stick form): I picked up this stick form because I prefer that format. This is the only item I did not pick up from City Pharma because they didn't carry the stick form. I snagged this two pack for €6.00. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_Mcd0VRFCAI/VB9gdoUSGnI/AAAAAAAADK8/3mR_aP8fHLc/s1600/IMG_4410.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_Mcd0VRFCAI/VB9gdoUSGnI/AAAAAAAADK8/3mR_aP8fHLc/s1600/IMG_4410.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div><br />I looked for Homeoplasmine but I was told they don't carry it anymore. I also asked for Avibon which I could not understand the shop sales woman's response.<br /><br />The 3 largest sources of my list came from the following videos and links.<br /><br />Fleur De Force's French Skincare video as linked below:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/9licB3dLFV8?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><br /><br />Lisa Eldridge's French Pharmacie Favouries linked below:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/SIPqpLp8MTM?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><br />Gweneth Paltrow's famous <a href="http://goop.com/journal/get/114/the-french-pharmacy">goop</a> list.Angela Chan Sheppardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02490956569530320194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927207629686127545.post-53778851684099228522014-10-02T11:59:00.002-07:002014-10-02T13:50:13.724-07:00Freeman Beauty 2014 Mystery BagI received an email this morning regarding the 2014&nbsp;<a href="https://www.freemanbeauty.com/product/mystery-bag">Freeman Beauty Mystery Bag</a>. I was so excited I ran to the website to see the bag is $30 and free shipping. But I started to lose my excitement when I thought to myself, wasn't this bag only $20 last year in 2013? And to get to my free shipping last year I pretty much got to pick out my own extras? After logging into my account I indeed confirmed to myself the mystery bag was only $20 last year. My immediate thought was whether or not the 30% price increase will be justifiable. So do I wait to see what other people get and if it possibly sells out? Or should I try it?<br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LdQmFrX6OzY/VC2fUPDwHVI/AAAAAAAADLY/1rsah8eGIJc/s1600/FB1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LdQmFrX6OzY/VC2fUPDwHVI/AAAAAAAADLY/1rsah8eGIJc/s1600/FB1.JPG" height="320" width="315" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The offer claims to include up to $100 in product this year.

I have been a regular survivor fan since Season 1 with Susan’s infamous snake/rat speech. I always enjoy other’s take on survivor episodes of seasons past so I thought why not start a weekly blog on my take. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The season opener started out with an all new cast. Thank you CBS for giving us fresh faces and doing a rather efficient job introducing each cast member. I’m not going to hash through and every member but I will give you my first impression of who stood out to me and why. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jeremy Collins: Perhaps a wolf in sheep’s clothing? He appears to be very likeable and I was moved by the emotions he expressed having to send his wife to Exile Island. Jeremy is playing smart by recognizing the credibility he gained by allowing the soft side of him to show. It appears he has made the majority of his tribe feel comfortable with him as an ally.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wes Nale: Likeable to the viewers but perhaps in danger. Having been sent to Exile Island first in the game may have limited his bonding time with the tribe, luckily for him their tribe escaped Tribal Counsel. Sadly, I get the feeling he values the bond between firemen more than Jeremy does. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">John Rocker: Tower of douche baggery.

I’m pretty sure she did not find the idol and I am pretty sure I know who has it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dale Wentworth: Strategic but naïve. How can he not think that necklace he found by the well is NOT an idol? He values his ability to start fire more than the rest of his tribe. He seems safe so long as the male alliance that has formed continues but he should not rest on that laurel. At this point I see him as a voting number and pawn or a weakness and thrown out early. Early prediction from me is he will not be winning. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Josh Canfield: A people person. Everyone seems to trust and be drawn to him. He must have a trusting air about him which is a good quality to have in a social game. Kudos to him for not reacting to Nadiya’s rude assumptions about him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’m happy to see Survivor remove the dual, when you’re gone… you’re gone. I would like to see the return of an idol with special powers (you can play it after the vote is read). Looking forward to a new season with my favorite host in reality TV Jeff Probst.

I felt like they didn't help up to their claims. I need something with a better guard. I used these through 2 cycles and through both I ended up going back to me true and tried favorite Tampax Pearl.&nbsp; I would not repurchase these.<br /><br /><b>Vitamin Shoppe Next Step Fit N Full Protein Shake Samples in Swiss Chocolate Shake, French Vanilla and Fresh Berries.</b><br />&nbsp;The Grade: A <br />These surprised me. They were easy to mix and didn't stay very powdery. Some protein shakes are hard to swallow because of their offensive artificial taste. I did not find these to be hard to drink at all and even used my samples as meal replacements.<br /><br /><b>V the Vitamin Shoppe I want to Shake It Up Next Step&nbsp; 2- oz JAXX Shaker</b><br />The Grade: A+ <br />By far my favorite item in this box. I am even most likely going to buy myself more. I think the little JAXX mixer is so cute, it really does the job of mixing your protein powder into your liquid. I love it, it is the perfect size, easy to drink from easy to clean and most of all easy to carry. Claims to be BPA free and top dish rack safe. Although this smells very strong of plastic upon initial opening, I love it! <br /><br /><b>Blue Diamond Fruit Flavored Almonds - Blueberry</b><br />The Grade: B+<br />I have a weakness of almonds. Blue Diamond almonds always deliver the perfect crunch and taste. This makes the perfect snack if you're looking to hold yourself over between or just want something a little sweet. I wanted to buy these right away my local Vons but they were not carrying them so I will just have to wait. <br /><br /><b>Aqua Spa Relax Bath Soak Lavendae + Chamomile</b><br />The Grade: B-<br />The salts were already clumped together the first time I opened my container. There was definitely a strong Lavender scent. So non lavender fans beware. The salts are a milk purple color and I noticed they have dyes in the ingredients, "red 33 lake, red 27 lake, blue 1 lake. I would prefer they skip on the dye.<br /><br />Profoot Triad Orthotic<br /><br />Profoot Pedi-Rock<br />A nice size. <br /><br /><a href="http://angelamakeupdiaries.blogspot.com/2014/06/muller-yogurt.html">Muller Greek Corner and Corner Yogurts</a></td><td><br /></td><td><br /></td></tr><tr><td>I have a full more extensive review on another page.

With all the choices at my local Scripps Ranch Vons I decided to pick up the flavor dark chocolate &amp; cherry as my free pick. Luckily for me these were on sale for $1 each. With so many tempting choices and a sale going on,&nbsp; I paid with my own money to pick up the muller fruit up cup in luscious lemon.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I ate the dark chocolate &amp; cherry as my dessert after lunch at work. The yogurt was a creamy vanilla with perfectly distributed flakes of chocolate. The chocolate reminded me of the texture of chocolate in a typical mint chocolate. The corner of cherry was a little too sweet for my taste but the great thing about this packaging is you can control how much you can add. I would love to see muller offer just the yogurt side in a single cup. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AhoIyRtMhnU/U46xEUXGEsI/AAAAAAAADCc/w_E_znWHHUQ/s1600/photo+2%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AhoIyRtMhnU/U46xEUXGEsI/AAAAAAAADCc/w_E_znWHHUQ/s1600/photo+2%25283%2529.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TXRVfpKUr4M/U46xEgbPbWI/AAAAAAAADCg/uER718rIyNY/s1600/photo+3%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TXRVfpKUr4M/U46xEgbPbWI/AAAAAAAADCg/uER718rIyNY/s1600/photo+3%25281%2529.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FIweVRn0kZs/U46ypPMYtuI/AAAAAAAADC4/XnnyT3AcMW0/s1600/photo+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FIweVRn0kZs/U46ypPMYtuI/AAAAAAAADC4/XnnyT3AcMW0/s1600/photo+4.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GIc_rZt0BIY/U46w-CPxpPI/AAAAAAAADCQ/uxklFpS6fTE/s1600/photo+1%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GIc_rZt0BIY/U46w-CPxpPI/AAAAAAAADCQ/uxklFpS6fTE/s1600/photo+1%25283%2529.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pV1dkq7Uc6I/U46s3aUJBqI/AAAAAAAADCA/FbNFdDRsP8w/s640/blogger-image--2003792907.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-iK3llIc8LZA/U46sz-qOn-I/AAAAAAAADBw/7JHvLOwvvio/s640/blogger-image-1030006461.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div>Angela Chan Sheppardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02490956569530320194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927207629686127545.post-79779965253830515742014-02-25T17:47:00.002-08:002014-02-25T17:50:49.145-08:00CVS Sighting: Runway by Lord & Berry<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I had never heard of this brand before but The pretty display caught my eye.
